PC Gamer RSS Feed Issue

[TheRingBearer]

Perhaps I am the only one who uses this, but it seems like that the PC Gamer RSS feed at www.pcgamer.com/rss/ no longer works. I also notice that if you navigate to that page firefox tries to download the file. This seems like different behavior when compared to something like ars technica's rss which loads in the browser.

It seems like there might be some kind of validation error with the RSS feed...?

If you can fix this, that would be great.

Thanks

The behavior on Ars is because they are using FeedBurner. The PC Gamer feed is valid but you're using HTTP instead of HTTPS. - https://validator.w3.org/feed/check.cgi?url=https://www.pcgamer.com/rss/. It appears fine in an RSS reader such as Feedly. If you want it to look like Ars, you can also create your own FeedBurner link for PC Gamer - https://feedburner.google.com/.

Ultimately the issue was that it was failing to get pulled into The Old Reader, but changing the RSS URL to be https fixed it for me.

Thanks!
